This is really an inner part of me..... I've been intrigued with images of US black women on fabric over the past 7-8 years. I buy at random cuts.

Note.... I don't see many images of black men (none???) on fabric. Future adventure /fullfillmen for me....??? YEP!So, in my stash of saved fabric.... I have all these little black girls.... and they end up beautifully in my quilts!

I really want to grow very old.... peaceful and content regardless of ailments....

... my favorite song ... is

Dionne Warwick and Luther and Whitney.... That's what friends are for....!!!!

This is my life story..... no joke....On the above post .... I automatically wrote 2012..... while mentally thinking of 2013 as the NEW YEAR !!Back in January 9th -- 1954 --- I was a delivered "at home" with my grandmother Martha Sipuel as the nurse-maid....I was born on her birthday-- yippee --- Daddy called for an elderly doctor to deliver me... (so old... that while he might have charged $35.00.... daddy paid $5 and would pay-out the balance!!! Story goes that Doc died... and my price was reduced!) Doctor took the birth certificate and wrote JANUARY 9th... 1953!

Ta-Dah..... my smart daddy and big mama said to themselves.... let's not change it...... Beverly can draw her social security benefits early.... I also started school early in a small rural town.... I never saw my birth certificate until I was sixteen yrs old to drive..... and was therefore confused!!
